Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Jul 3, 2008
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Monaco RV Recalls Responsiiblity

Opened Dec 17, 2009
Closed Oct 12, 2018

NHTSA opened this investigation to review issues in connection with recalls initiated by Monaco Coach Corporation (Monaco Coach), which later filed bankruptcy. Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) purchased assets of the bankrupt Monaco Coach and disclaimed responsibility for the Monaco Coach recalls. Since the time this investigation was opened, the law has substantially changed to better ensure that consumers are protected from safety defects or noncompliances in a bankrupt manufacturer?s products. These legal changes address the underlying concerns that led to agency to open this investigation. Specially, Congress twice amended the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (Safety Act) to address recall obligations in connection with a bankruptcy. Section 31313 of the MAP-21 Act added a new section 30120A to Chapter 301 of Title 49, United States Code, which specifies that a manufacturer's filing of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition ?does not negate the manufacturer's duty? to comply with specified provisions of the Safety Act, including the recall provisions in 49 U.S.C. ?? 30118-30120. Section 24106 of the FAST Act expanded the scope of this new provision to also cover Chapter 7 bankruptcies. Pursuant to these amendments, the Safety Act specifies that a manufacturer?s recall obligations ?shall be treated as a claim of the United States Government against such manufacturer . . . , and given priority.? In 2013, NHTSA also amended its regulation on safety recalls to add a new section 49 C.F.R. ? 573.16 that requires a manufacturer to report filing of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition to the agency within 5 working days. This requirement better enables NHTSA to assert claims in bankruptcy proceedings and otherwise work to proactively resolve issues in connection with a manufacturer?s bankruptcy.This investigation is closed.
